So, we are going to build Trump’s wall. The White House has pressured the U.S. military to divert $3.6 billion away from more than 100 national security projects to start building the fence.
You will not be surprised to learn that Mexico won’t pay for this; U.S. taxpayers will. We can’t afford toothbrushes or flu shots for immigrant children seeking asylum, but we can, apparently, afford to build a $60 billion wall over mountains and through deserts.
By the end of 2020, just after the election, Trump says there will be 500 miles of completed wall. Thus, he will be able to reassure his supporters (four out of every 10 voters) that he is keeping his promise to wall off the southern border. All the experts — all — agree the wall will be difficult to build, will not end illegal immigration, will cost far more than any current estimates, will mean landowners will have their property seized, and in time will become a despised white elephant.
But Trump’s wall is something he can be photographed with and which will, of course, be named after him. Trump’s supporters don’t seem to care that he is not keeping his other promises — to restore U.S. manufacturing, bring back the coal industry, stop Russia from interfering in our elections, fix health care, rebuild America’s infrastructure, stop North Korea’s nuclear ambitions, drain the swamp.

LOL
Russia didn’t interfere with our elections
Who is this jerk???
Lead in is an incoherent and false rant that makes the writer sound unhinged
WE must get out the vote.
Get the ground game going. Don’t be complacent
Oh nooooooo
Can not unsee
Two weeks?
I’m guessing McFatters is looking forward to Madame President’s deliciously certain election in 2016.
I see an entirely different world than the author. But this weekend I talked to two deranged Lefties, one of whom went ballistic over Sharpiegate and the other who referred to Trump as “the rapist in chief.” It’s as if we were living in separate universes. There are literally help wanted signs every mile of the (developed) roads I travel. I haven’t seen business optimism like this since the late sixties when you could get a job by walking next door and applying. That is entirely due to Trump.
That’s the ugliest dude I’ve ever seen.

Why doesn’t Mexico pay or toothbrushes or flu shots for Mexican children illegally crossing the US border?

“The White House has pressured the U.S. military”
I think she needs some grade-school lessons in Civics.
Choke on it. Take it all in and choke on it, you Leftist Cow.
I hope it drives you utterly mad.
This stink-brained nitwit should do the only honorable thing available to her...di it! No one will miss you and sane civil society will benefit.
The President doesn't pressure the US military to do anything, he ORDERS it. He is the Commander-in-Chief.
No kidding. It bothers me that we have to accept people like her as fellow citizens on an equal standing, but, them’s the rules.
will mean landowners will have their property seized,
What property?
Do they own the border?
There is not a spot within the US that a government or private utility can not get an easement across private property. So why is a border wall so much different?
We’re building the wall so we don’t have to pay for their damn toothbrushes!
Nope.
Maybe DHS did - on orders.
